Mrs. S is a 48 YO F who recently had an esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD) that showed a lesion and a narrowing of the distal esophagus just above the lower esophageal sphincter. A biopsy was taken that proved to be positive for squamous cell adenocarcinoma. Mrs. S was admitted to the hospital for more tests with a plan for possible surgery.
Her height is 5’6” with weight of 148 lbs on admission. Her UBW (usual body weight) was 175 lbs. Mrs. S’s physician decided to initiate chemotherapy in an attempt to shrink the tumor prior to surgery. The physician also consulted the surgical dietitian in order to start TPN as the patient could not swallow or have an enteral feeding tube placed due to the tumor. He ordered D5NS at 50 ml/h until the TPN was started.

- What are Bruces options at this point? Bruce and his parents moved to a semi-tropical region of the United States when he was about 3 years old. He loved to be outside year-round and swim, surf, snorkel, and play baseball. Bruce was fair-skinned, and in his childhood years, was sunburned quite often. In his teen years, he began using sunscreens, and although he never tanned very much, he did not have the painful sunburns of his younger years. After graduation from the local community college, Bruce wanted an outdoor job and was hired at a dive shop. He took people out to one of the local reefs to snorkel and scuba dive. He didnt give a second thought to sun exposure because he used sunscreen. His employer did not provide health insurance, so Bruce did not go for annual checkups, and tried to stay in good health. In his late 20s, Bruce was injured trying to keep a tourist from getting caught between the dive boat and the dock. He went to an internist, who treated his injury and told Bruce he was going to give him a complete physical exam. During the exam, the internist noticed a discolored patch of skin on Bruces back. She told him that she suspected Bruce had skin cancer and referred him to a dermatologist, who biopsied the patch. At a follow-up visit, Bruce was told that he had melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Further testing revealed that the melanoma had spread to his liver and his lungs. The dermatologist explained that treatment options at this stage are limited. The drugs available for chemotherapy have only temporary effects, and surgery is not effective for melanoma at this stage. The dermatologist recommended that Bruce consider entering a clinical trial that was testing a DNA vaccine for melanoma treatment. These vaccines deliver DNA encoding a gene expressed by the cancer cells to the immune system. This primes the immune system to respond by producing large quantities of antibodies that destroy melanoma cells wherever they occur in the body. A clinical trial using one such DNA vaccine was being conducted at a nearby medical center, and Bruce decided to participate. At the study clinic, Bruce learned that he would be in a Phase Ill trial, comparing the DNA vaccine against the standard treatment, which is chemotherapy, and that he would be randomly assigned to receive either the DNA vaccine or the chemotherapy. He was disappointed to learn this. He thought he would be receiving the DNA vaccine.arrow_forwardWhich meal carries the lowest choking risk for a 9-month-old infant?

When she was two years old, she was diagnosed with a peanut allergy. Her health has improved with avoidance of peanuts. At age 4, however, she had an episode of breathing difficulty that required an ER visit. This incident makes the family quite concerned about sending Judy to school. A meeting was held at the school to discuss plans for Judy to avoid peanut exposure at school. Her mom proposed to pack her lunch at home instead of get school foods. A plan was put in place for teachers to check the snack foods and offer a replacement snack for Judy if she was unsure if there were peanuts present. Judy was also assigned a specific table in the cafeteria to avoid being close to peanuts in other lunches. After 1 month, Judy had 2 episodes resulting in hives.
